A good change for Everest

The Telegraph reports:

I think this is a good idea. Everest is the tallest peak in the world, but is not the most difficult technically. This means you get lots of people paying to climb it, and huge queues on the mountain.

Requiring climbers to have climbed another 7000m+ peak in Nepal will both reduce demand for Everest, but also increase the skills of climbers.
